Attempt TO Assassinate.

This morning a young German farmer,
Herman BrOnkel, who has been farming
on shares with an old man ~ years Of
age who has a small farm on the Arkansas
Pass road, about II miles from the city,
appeared before Justice Barnes and
wanted to make an affidavit against the
old man for attempted asssssi-
nation. He said he was walk
ing along the railroad track
on the farm yesterday afternoon, when
two shots were fired and two bullets
came whistling by his head unpleasant
ly close. He did not see who fired them,
as they were fired from ambush, but as
he had heard the old man had threat
ened to kill him, he feels sure he was the
man who shot at him.
The cause for the bad feeling between
the two, as related very guardedly by
Bronkel, arose over the ownership
of an unrlpe watermelon, which
Bronkel had In his patch and which he
accused the old man of having stolen.
This the old man denied and quarrel
arose, and his brother-in-law since told
him of the threats made against him.
Bronkel says the whole matter is being
stirred up to make him vacate his gar
den, just as the crops are ripening,
which he of course refuses to do. The
justice informed him to make the COM
plant before Justice Howard, of his
own precinct, as he had no Jurisdiction
in the matter.

McGarigle Seen But No More.

CHICAGO, Ills, July ga special
from Milwaukee, Wis.,, says that Albert
Chapman, an old acquaintance OF Nc
Carlyle, saw the fugitive boodler In the
Milwaukee and st. Paul depot Sunday
morning. He stopped when he saw him
and was about to speak, but McGsrigle
gave him the wink. At this time, Mr..
Chapman was not aware of McGargle's
escape. Another man who saw McGarl-
gle was Timothy Hadlock, a travelling
man from Lynn, Mass, who was also at
the depot. Hsdlock did not
know the boodler, but overheard
two rough-looking men talking about
the gentleman with a small satchel who
was passing. One of them said it was

He Got Away.

Mr.. Herman Gregory. jr., was robbed
OF $40 by some men near the |. Il q. n.
depot on Sunday night and reported the
occurrence to Merchant Policeman Hill,
but no good could then be done. Some
time afterwards Hill saw a man prowl-
ing round Stoves lumber yard, and ar
rested him. The man said be had lost
his way, but Hill decided to bring him
to the city. He got him a little dis
lance, when he drew knife and stabbed
ut him. Hill quickly put up his hand to
seize the knife, but got the blade in his
hand, cutting the flesh to the bone. The
man the fed, and, although Hill fired
several shots at him, he got clear away.
From Mr.. Gregory's description 1t ap-

was one Of the robbers.

Heroes and Heroines,

There are few who endure bodily troubles
without complaint. Did you ever meet among
the heroes or heroines of your acquaintance
il any such there have been-one with a
yellowish cast of countenance and that jaun-
diced aspect generally, which the most un.
practised eye recognizes as the product of a
disordered liver, who did not complain, and
peevishly too, of the soreness of the recall
citrant organ, OF pains beneath the right
shoulder blade, of dyspeptic symptoms, con-
stipation and headache? or course you never
dsd. and of course the individual was NOT
using Hostetter's Stomach Btters, or he
would net so have looked-so have complain
cd. To purify the blood when contaminated
with bile, and conduct the secretion into it's
proper channel, to re-establish regularity of
the bowels, Danish bilious headache and re-
move impediments to complete digestion,
nothing can approach in efficacy this peerless
Alternative and tonic. Malarial complaints,
always involving the liver and kidney and
bladder inactivity, are remedied by ii. 1t is a
capital appetizer.

You say the wind ia from the south

although | have made the breeze and
ventilation of this climate a careful
study for several years, the outcome
being the modification of the adopted
design, whereby have obtained a per-
feet plan with this point as first consid-
Grafton. 1t Is not my desire to discour-
age interest in the furtherance of the

Gallagher, Lockwood & Meny, In the
round yesterday, entered a saloon TO
collect for the antis, when they found
several people there, including some
Irishmen. One of the Irishmen spotted
Lockwood, and arising, said: "Arrah,
byes, but here's Alderman Lockwood.
Its him as made an illigsnt alderman,
and Its himself that Wen send back there
again"
The "byes" concurred. Lockwood
bowed his Acknowledgements and, Of
course, ended by saying, What will you
take?" or course they accepted the In
vitation and enjoyed their drinks.
The spokesman then turned his bat
terry upon Gallagher.
There's Gallagher now; that's an
honor to his race. Shure, now it's him
self and Lockwood that made a dacent
pair, and It's themselves as made that
council lively. True, an it's a pity that
they are not working together now.
Amt it, byes," and the boys enthusiast
tically oOncurred. Gallagher smole a
sweet innocent spprobative smile in
which 1t was joined In chorus by Lock-
woods smile. Gallagher showed elo-
quent appreciation by setting them up
literally,
Then an equally glowing tribute was
paid by the lrishman to Joe Meny's
aldermalIc ability and was re-
wsrded by liberal treat all
around. The alderman then re-
tired TO make further collection
and when they had done so the Barney
tOne-kissing Irishman sat down and
addressing his comrades said.
"Byes, didn't wurruk that Elegantly?
Shure now and its myself as knows how
to get fra drinks" And they all gave
good natured laugh that showed they
were pleased at the aldermanio sppre-

Salt not Sugar.

Two young fellows sat at a table
playing the "fly" game. This game is
played by placing two Jumps of sugar
or two piles Of powdered sugar and the
one that a fly first tackles loses the
game. Two men whom we will call A
and for purposes Of Identification
were playing this game yesterday and
b. invariably won, for although the fly
would go to his heap OF sugar, II passed
quickly over 1t and went to AS pile.
At last A became suspicious, and found
that BIS supposed sugar heap was made
